RAXE500 - Network USB Doesn't Work
I just connected my RAXE500 and wanted to set up the USB drive on readyshare that I previously used on my older Nighthawk but it doesn't seem to work. I went to the Advanced settings and shut off all the connections exception the LAN connection. I changed the name to \\cloud like it was on my old router.
It can see my drive but when I try to map the network connection it can't connect.
I also am unable to edit the Network Folder. When I open it and try to select Root or any other folder (It does see all the folders on the drive) as the share folder, it doesn't fill in the field. When I manually fill in the field with either any of the following it also can't find them "FolderName" "\FolderName" "U:\FolderName". Also I can't seem to set admin password for read AND write.

What does it show the share folder name as you you open windows explorer and enter in \\router IP
For example, if the router IP is 192.168.1.1, then you enter in \\192.168.1.1
This will help determine if the share name actually changed.
PS with that method you can also right click on the share that shows up and map it from there if needed as well.When I tried this it wouldn't connect.
What error does it give when you use the router's IP address?
